-changes relative to sbcl-1.0.37:
- * INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: Thread names are now restricted to SIMPLE-STRINGs
+changes relative to sbcl-1.0.40:
+ * optimization: validity of observed keyword initargs to MAKE-INSTANCE is
+ cached, leading to many fewer expensive calls to
+ COMPUTE-APPLICABLE-METHODS.
+ * optimization: in the (unoptimized) general method for MAKE-INSTANCE on a
+ CLASS argument, search for and call an appropriate optimized ctor function
+ if it exists.
+ * bug fix: WRITE always returns the correct value.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.40 relative to sbcl-1.0.39:
+ * bug fix: readdir now works on :inode64 darwin builds (lp#592897)
+ * bug fix: Name conflicts between symbols passed as arguments to a single
+ call to IMPORT no longer add multiple symbols with the same name to the
+ package (detectable via DO-SYMBOLS).
+ * bug fix: support building without the dlshim on darwin x86 and x86-64
+ (lp#533470).
+ * bug fix: TRACE :ENCAPSULATE NIL now works on ppc/linux.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.39 relative to sbcl-1.0.38:
+ * bug fix: Backtrace from undefined function on x86 and x86-64 now show
+ the calling frame.
+ * bug fix: linkage-table entries on PPC now no longer overflow their
+ space allocation (potentially causing crashes if they are written out
+ of order).
+ * bug fix: Scrub control stack after scavenging in gencgc on non-x86oid
+ platforms, preventing the GC from seeing stale pointers on the control
+ stack in subsequent GCs (which would, and does, break invariants).
+ * bug fix: 32-bit unicode external formats now work on big-endian systems.
+ * bug fix: Literal characters with code points greater than about 32767
+ now work on PPC UNICODE builds.
+ * bug fix: Any noise left by SSE operations (sqrt and conversions) in the
+ high order bits are explicitly cleared out. In some contrived situations,
+ this could lead to wrong results in mixed real/complex float arithmetic.
+ * bug fix: Fix function/macro redefinition warnings when building with
+ clisp. (lp#576787, thanks to Josh Elsasser)
+ * new platform: experimental support for ppc/openbsd (thanks to Josh
+ Elsasser).
+ * bug fix: Floating-point traps now work on ppc/linux.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.38 relative to sbcl-1.0.37:
+ * incompatible change: Thread names are now restricted to SIMPLE-STRINGs
like for any other thread-related datastructure, MUTEX, etc. (lp#547095)
- * DEPRECATION: the SB-QUEUE contrib was merged into the SB-CONCURRENCY
+ * deprecation: the SB-QUEUE contrib was merged into the SB-CONCURRENCY
contrib module. New code should depend on SB-CONCURRENCY, not SB-QUEUE.
- * DEPRECATION: SB-THEAD:GET-MUTEX was deprecated in favor of
+ * deprecation: SB-THEAD:GET-MUTEX was deprecated in favor of
SB-THREAD:GRAB-MUTEX.
- * new contrib: SB-CONCURRENCY is a new contrib; it's supposed to contain
- additional data structures and tools for concurrent programming; at the
- moment it contains a lock-free queue, and a lock-free mailbox
+ * new contributed module: SB-CONCURRENCY is a new contrib; it's supposed to
+ contain additional data structures and tools for concurrent programming;
+ at the moment it contains a lock-free queue, and a lock-free mailbox
implementation.
* new feature: added SB-THREAD:GRAB-MUTEX; it's like the now deprecated
GET-MUTEX but takes &key rather than &optional parameters. Also added
some of CL-PPCRE's macros. (lp#570079)
* enhancement: our machine code is slightly less hostile to valgrind on
x86-64.
+ * enhancement: up-to-date versions of NetBSD-current are supported. (Thanks
+ to Robert Swindells and Aleksej Saushev)
* bug fix: correct restart text for the continuable error in MAKE-PACKAGE.
* bug fix: a rare case of startup-time page table corruption.
* bug fix: a semaphore with multiple waiters and some of them unwinding due
* bug fix: Maybe restore buildability on Alpha.
* bug fix: READ-BYTE isn't inline anymore, fixing weird streams failures.
(lp#569404)
+ * bug fix: RANDOM-STATE can be printed readably again.
+ * bug fix: Unreadable objects were sometimes printed like #<\nFoo>.
+ * bug fix: Using EQL with non-constant values of constant type (e.g. EQL
+ types) could result in type mismatches during compilation.
changes in sbcl-1.0.37 relative to sbcl-1.0.36:
